The Punjab Revenue Authority has sealed multiple branches of a leading fast food chain in Lahore over alleged tax non-compliance, according to official sources.
Five branches of the chain in Lahore have been sealed, including the DHA EME, Askari 10 and DHA Z Block outlets.
The company’s response on the matter is awaited. ProPakistani has reached out to the company for comment and will update the story when a response is received.
The latest action comes days after the Punjab Revenue Authority also sealed multiple branches of coffee chain Double Shot in Lahore over alleged misreporting of sales data and violations of electronic invoicing rules.
In an order issued under Section 59A of the Punjab Sales Tax on Services Act, 2012, the PRA said the business had allegedly bypassed the mandatory Electronic Invoice Monitoring System and under-declared taxable sales.
In Islamabad, authorities also sealed a Red Apple outlet in F-6 Markaz over allegations of issuing unverified sales tax receipts. According to initial reports, the premises were sealed after concerns emerged about the alleged issuance of non-authenticated or improper tax invoices, prompting intervention by tax enforcement teams.

shame on KFC
instead of paying gunda tax just close down the business, that will hurt them the most.

Kids pay your taxes
They will seal the food chains but tax authorities sill not go after major shops in liberty, sanitory along ferozpur road like Deen sons which don’t give even proper sales receipt. Time to go after these shops n increase the tax bracket.
Good stuff
